A judge in Arkansas has been accused of using his power to gain sexual favors. He would offer lighter sentences to young white males if they did community service. Once there he would take pictures of their buttocks as they bent over during their work. Ana Kasparian (The Point), John Iadarola (Think Tank), Hasan Piker (Pop Trigger) hosts of The Young Turks discuss.

“An Arkansas judge was accused of targeting “young Caucasian male litigants” and using his position to offer them lighter sentences in exchange for sex, the Arkansas Times reported.

The state Judicial Discipline and Disability Commission said in a statement on Tuesday that District Court Judge Joseph Boeckmann would not only offer “substitutionary sentences” to men appearing before him in court, but also hand out lighter fines and sentences to them compared to women charged with similar offenses.

The commission said that Boeckmann would target men between the ages of 18 and 35 and have them do “community service” by picking up cans either along local roads or at his house. Once there, the group’s complaint stated, the judge would take pictures of their buttocks as they bent over to pick up the cans.”
